Chapter 1266 “Labor (2)”
Swoosh!
Right as the loudmouthed gossiper finished his words, the teen in question had already turned away following a rapid gush of wind.
………..
Demon City.
Standing under the mounting image of the towering structures that made up the walls surrounding this city, the teen was indifferent as he held out his longsword. But before he could make it no more than a few steps towards the city gates, a regiment of demon soldiers had rushed over to surround him from within.
“Get Di Cang out here to see me!” He snaps, unfazed by the sizable force before his eye.
“Who are you? How dare you call our king by name?” asked the leading guard.
Sneering: “I only want to ask him in person if he really intends to take in a new consort. Tell him to get out here!”
The guards were all taken aback by the demand. It’s true there’s a rumor hovering above the city about the king taking in new consorts and that the new maids First Elder brought back from the Leopard Clan were the likely candidates. But that’s never confirmed so it didn’t make sense that someone would have issue with the matter.
Of course, those who knows the royal family wouldn’t believe such nonsense to begin with, but that doesn’t mean everyone would think that way. For these palace guards over here, they’re originally from the secret domain of the Demon Realm. They’ve spent most of their time training within there so whatever story or information they had were only from hearsay, hence the hesitation in their behavior.
“I thought it was all rumors at first, but clearly that’s not the case if even his subordinates are acting the way you are all!” Perhaps it’s the rage brewing from within at the notion, the teen’s hand was starting to shake as he held that sword.
“I will get an answer from him no matter what today! I want to know if the promise he made to me back then still holds true. He promised to love my sister for the rest of his life! Now he wants to take in a new consort? Fine! If he takes one then I’ll kill one, if he takes two then I’ll kill two! I like to see him take a new consort then!”
The more he spoke, the more intimidating and threatening the young lad became. Against this oppressive picture, the demon soldiers all felt an instinctive fear and cowered back.
“You…” the leading guard popped his eyes out as he nervously cried out the idea in his mind. “You are the king’s brother-in-law?”
Instead of getting happy, the teen only grew more outraged at the title: “Brother-in-law? That’s all in the past. My sister is Bai Yan… and I won’t recognize someone that likes to flirt around with other females after being married! Now go get him out here to see me! Or is he too afraid to come out in person?”
Sweating buckets at the confirmation, the leading guard wanted to curse his own luck. This guy really is the queen’s younger brother and he’s here to get justice for the queen! I can’t offend this guy, otherwise the king might kill us for good if he learns of this!
“So it’s Sir Xiao, apologies for not recognizing you beforehand. Unfortunately I can’t oblige your request because the king has left in search of the queen again.” The guard rubs his hands together like a guilty child that’s been caught doing something wrong.
